Reread lines 30–45. Gold and diamond mining is an important part of South Africa's economy. In the past, most mine workers were

African men who left their families in rural areas and worked under brutal conditions for white bosses. Why does Gordimer mentions her house's location above a mine here? Discuss how Gordimer's inclusion of the description of the miners is also an explanation of why people are afraid in South African society.

Answer and Explanation:

1. She described that her house is above a mine to show that the infrastructure problems of the house and the fragility it presents is not the result of poor construction or poor quality materials, but of the hollow soil below the house, which was triggered by the excavation to find precious metals in the mine.

2. The miners' description, on the other hand, presents the precarious situation as they live. This description also shows the number of miners who were found dead because of working conditions, which shows that miners are oppressed and exploited, but because of the economic condition people are increasingly submitting to this job.

xxMikexx [17]

We see that the speakers actually felt that they were different in a way from the rest because of the peculiarity of their cultural backgrounds.

The speaker in "This is Not Who We Are" handled it by relapsing to poetry where she gained inner strength.

<h3>What are cultural differences?</h3>

Cultural differences refers to the beliefs, practices, etc. that are unique and specific to a group of people but not the same with another group. Cultural differences, if not properly handled will eventually lead to segregation and discrimination.

We see that the speakers of the excerpts actually felt disconnected to a particular community because of cultural differences.

The speaker in "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" felt disconnected from the person she loved.

ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST can someone tell me 5 issues in our society that could be fixed to create a perfect society. racism is an ex
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

honestly? this is a matter of pure opinion, though i personally believe they'd be racism, homophobia/transphobia, poverty, student debt, and crime rate.

Explanation:

let me explain each one a bit more carefully:

racism is an obvious one, and one of the ones that tears our community apart the most. everyone deserved to be loved no matter their skin color, and to have a 'perfect society', we need to begin by accepting people regardless of their origins.

homophobia/transphobia also ties into my previous statement. everyone deserves to be loved, regardless of who they choose to love, as long as that person is a consenting and willing human being. everyone also deserves to be in the body and identify as whatever they're most comfortable with. if we can't achieve this, then we could never achieve a 'perfect society'.

poverty is also an issue that tears our community apart. it ties into a lot of greater issues, such as student debt and crime rate, though at the core, it's horrible by itself. many people are homeless and starving as a result of poverty, and if we'd ever like to achieve this 'perfect society', poverty rates are an issue that needs to be tackled.

student debt is what scares a lot of young adults away from attending college, and, as a result, it makes them less likely to get a decent-paying job. a 'perfect society' would require education to be more accessible to more people, so this is an issue that we would need to tackle, as well.

finally, crime rate. crime rates are insanely high in many places. this is because of a lot of factors, such as where people have been raised or who they have been raised by, but the fact still stands that high crime rates are absolutely an issue that need to be tackled if we ever want to achieve a 'perfect society', considering how much crime can negatively impact everyone around.

hope this helps! ☆
